More Overture Breakup Lawsuits 11/05/2003 02:55 AM

When Yahoo bought Overture, one of the first things we mentioned was that people shouldn't just add Overture's revenue to Yahoo's because plenty of Overture's partners would bail out as quickly as possible, since they saw themselves as competitors to Yahoo. It hasn't taken long for that scenario to play out - but it's proving to be a pretty litigious situation. First, T-Online ditched Overture for Google, but Overture sued and won. Now, the same thing is playing out with Lycos, except that Lycos is striking first. They've both dumped Overture for Google and proactively sued them for breach of contract. They claim that Overture needed Lycos' permission before agreeing to the Yahoo acquisition. This might seem like a bit of a stretch at first, but it was apparently in the contract because Lycos wanted to make sure their private info never got into the hands of a list of competitors - with Yahoo at the top of that list. The complaint also alleges (just to make matters more fun) that Overture still owes Lycos nearly a million dollars, and they'd like to see the check pretty damn soon.

A sad breakup


A sad breakup 12/19/2004 03:21 PM
I hadn't realized this, but apparently some time ago, Ken and Barbie -- one of the world's most popular couples -- broke up! It seems Barbie has a new boyfriend now, a fellow named Blaine. Here's a photo of the love birds released by their agent Mattel in 2003. Apparently friends and fans are not happy about the end of the nearly 50 year union between Barbie and Ken and have been posting angrily about it over at Amazon, as you can see in the customer reviews at Amazon for Barbie's New Boyfriend Blaine with Boogie Board, Surfer Gear & Exclusive 'Cali-Zine' Magazine. A reviewer named Kris writes: Don't worry ladies. I'll deal with this Blaine guy for you...Once he's gone, Barbie can get over her little mid-life crises and get back with Ken. Then all will be right in the world again. People really don't deal with break-ups well, do they? Even when the 'people' doing the breaking up are 11" plastic dolls.

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits


Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits 04/20/2004 10:11 AM

Linspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's resolve by announcing LPhoto and LSongs . Two applications that bear more than a little resemblence to iPhoto and iTunes. Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take too much research to find that they take their intellectual property very seriously. Unlike their last battle with Microsoft, I have a feeling they'll get to keep the names, but the apps will no doubt look vastly different by the time they are released.
